Description
This embroidered patch features the University of Southern California Department of Public Safety insignia on a navy field, located at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, with a gray merrow border framing the flat-top shield shape.
Center: A gold seven-point peace-officer star sits at the heart of the patch. The inner ring reads DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, and at the very center is a dark-red seal carrying a torch emblem with radiating lines, set against the gold of the star.
Top Section: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA arches around the upper edge of the patch in gray block lettering that follows the border curve.
Bottom Section: PUBLIC SAFETY is set in two lines of gray block letters across the lower portion of the patch, naming the department.
Shape & Base: The patch is a flat-top shield with angled shoulders, worked in full-coverage navy twill with a gray merrow edge that frames the gold star in strong contrast.
Embroidery Quality: Produced in full-coverage embroidery on polyester twill, it holds the fine detail of the star points, the inner seal, and the arched lettering cleanly. Order it as shown for the USC Department of Public Safety, or customize the colors, lettering, border, and seal for your own campus agency.

🛡 Authorized Purchase & Credential Verification
Patches bearing a real agency or department name are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Law enforcement and public-safety buyers must provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. We do not sell agency-named patches for personal use.
Custom and fictional designs — for example, a made-up department like “Town of Western Hope Police” — are welcome, as are designs where you change the agency or department name to your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is shown on the USC Department of Public Safety patch?
It is a navy flat-top shield with a gray border. UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA arches across the top and PUBLIC SAFETY sits at the bottom, both in gray. The center carries a gold seven-point star with DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY on the inner ring and a dark-red torch seal at its core.
Is this a police patch or a public safety patch?
USC uses a Department of Public Safety, which is the university's campus safety and law-enforcement agency. This patch is the official DPS insignia, which is why the star ring reads DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY and the bottom reads PUBLIC SAFETY rather than POLICE.
What does the seven-point star mean?
The seven-point star is a traditional peace-officer badge shape used by many California law-enforcement and public-safety agencies. On this patch it frames the USC Department of Public Safety seal at the center.
Can you make a custom campus public safety patch like this for our department?
Yes. A flat-top shield with a seven-point star and a central seal is a flexible template. Our artwork team can swap the seal, university name, colors, and border to match your campus agency, with a free proof before production.
How much does a patch like this cost, and what is the minimum order?
Estimated pricing runs from about $17 each at 10 units down to roughly $2 each at 1,000 units, with no setup or mold fee. The minimum order starts as low as 10 pieces, so smaller runs for a specialty unit are welcome.
Do I need credentials to order a patch with the USC Department of Public Safety name on it?
Yes. Patches bearing a real agency name such as the USC Department of Public Safety are sold only to that agency or its authorized representatives. Campus public-safety buyers provide proof of occupation, valid credentials, or an authorized purchasing letter before production begins. Custom or renamed designs are welcome without that step.
